Lucid 5.2.8.7 (Dec 2016) with kernel 2.6 has fbcon and other required framebuffer modules.
Super Lucid 2 (kernel from Precise 5.7.1) also does, but halfway through boot, booted with vga=791 and with modprobe fbcon in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, the framebuffer console switches to plain 640x480.
I tried on two different laptops (both intel integrated graphics, 915GM, Xorg).
On one laptop I need kernel 3.2 or later for Xorg (and Xorg for mplayer).
Super Lucid 2 has 3.2 kernel. Super Lucid 3 and 4 have no console framebuffer support.
I use lynx in a terminal with fbi (framebuffer image viewer) as well as mplayer (to play DVDs).
Also much more text is visible at higher resolutions with framebuffer console.

I noticed this warning (attached) when I was compiling with the latest woof-CE kernel-kit. I started over, making the "linux_kernel-3.14.79-slacko64" folder manually before pressing the Enter to continue this time, and did not get the message any more... though not sure if that's what I was supposed to do.

edit: Drats, I guess not, now I got this warning instead (attached). Back to square one...

How people will choose the kernel that is butter for their computer ? it would be useful to give information about one kernel does what another does not.
My LxPupXenial has some sounds problems, it seems only oss available in the kernel 4.5.2. How to know that before the choice, that is my question.
And what kernel will be choosen when iso released as public final version _________________Passenger Pelo ! don't ask him to repair the aircraft. Don't use him as a demining dog .... pleeease.
